Here at Radical Sunday School, we’re always learning, but we want to make sure that our communities can have access to what we’ve been learning about, which is why we’ve been working on building up an archive for whoever wants to browse through it. On this page, you can look through summaries we’ve written of former classes. These might come in the form of well-structured essays, rough lecture notes, or just a list of sources you can use to keep learning on your own!
(If you’ve attended one of these sessions, and feel that our notes missed something important, send us an email and we’ll do our best to correct the mistake, add more sources, or whatever it is you think is lacking!)
